There were no brass bands, no conf

lists was glad of it. The president and

BROOKLYN, Oct. %. = The worlds
champion club and their friends arrived
in Jersey City this morning, and re-
manned in their special coaches instead
of going to any of the hotels. Most of
the morning was spent i'll sightseeing
in the city of New York. After eating
a hearty dinner the players, officials,
newspaper men and others took car
riageS and drove to the Brooklyn
grounds. Brooklyn did not do herself
proud on this occasion, but it was not
game or the One-SidednesS of the Strug-
gle, but it was the raw, cold air. 1t was
freezing weather, and had a tear
dropped from the eye of any of the
players it would have been an icicle be-
fore it reached the ground. Had the
Brooklyn people erected their toboggan
slide and poured water on it the two
teams and the crowd could better have
enjoyed themselves Oh tObOgganS than
chasing the ball. The attendance was
the smallest seen Oh the Brooklyn
ground this season. There were no
complaints ab0ut seats, in fact seats
went begging for some one to occupy
them. Among those in attendance
whose faces are familiar at base ball
games and iii base ball circles, either as
players OF spectators, were Presidents

Directors Doyle. and Abel, of the Brook

He WAS the same comieal and original
Latham who amused the crowds that
visited Washington park during the
summer to see the Browns play their

with the exception that Big Dan

his. first appearance since the worlds

the Detroit team. Dunlap is along with
the club. but didn't play. His ankle is
still weak. The DetroitS played in
listless. I-don t-care sort of way. They
have won the worlds championship
series and they do not now care how the
rest of the games go. The st. Louis
Browns had everything to gain by win
ming and nothing to lose should the
game go against them. 1t was easy to be
seen that the DetroitS had little
heart in the game, and were only too
glad when the game was over. The
Browns played hard to win, and even
harder when they thought they would
shut out the DetrOits. They came near
doing so. but that was all, as the De-
troits made one run when they wanted
it. Score:

THE FALLEN HERO.
How u Splendid Base Bali Player
Has Come Down.

William Murphy, better known in base
ball circles as Gentle Willie Murphy,
the erratic fielder,'' would be one of the
best players in the United States if
he would let whisky alone. But this he
will not DO, and. in consequence, his SER
vices have not been in active demand of
late. He. together with one Jack Ryan,
was arraigned III the municipal court of
Minneapolis on charge Of larceny, pre-
ferred by William Huey. Both men
were found guilty ana sent out for
twenty days each, in case a SO fine was
not paid. For some time past people
living near Cedar avenue have been
missing chickens and articles of cloth
ing, which disappeared in very mys-
terious manner. The police yester-
day morning visited a small
shanty on Cedar avenue and Nine
teenth avenue south and there found
Murphy and Ryan. They were using
some horse blankets, stolen from Huey.
to sleep upon, and it was upon the
charge of stealing them that they were
arrested. In drawer was found a
large number of chicken heads and
feathers, and from the appearance of
things the men had been living high. In
the court Murphy brought surprised
look to Judge Mahoney's face by telling
who he was. Murphy is the man re-
leased by the Bridgeport team for drum
kenness. Manager Foster, of the Min
neapolis club, had heard of Murphy,
and not knowing that he had been fired,
telegraphed the manager of the Bridge
port team that he would give Sl25 for
Murphy's release. Thereupon the man.
ager secured him again, and then re-
leased him after securing Fosters $l25.

TESTING THE Law.
A Wheat Buyer Brings Suit
Against the Northern Pacific.

Against the Northern Pacific.
Special to the Globe
VALLEY CITY, Dak., Oct 22.-Will-
lam W. Sandersen, the station agent of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
at this place, was arrested recently and
taken before United States Commits
sioner Alexander Mcconnell, upon the
complaint of Edgar w. Wylie. street
buyer of wheat at this place, charged
with violation of sections and 10 of
the interstate commerce law, in refus-
ing to furnish Wylie with any ears for
the purpose of transporting wheat from
here to Duluth. At the hearing few
days ago. after several witnesses had
been examined on the part of the United
States, the defendant waived further eX-
animation, and was held in the sum of
$1,000 to await the action of the grand
jury at the next session of the United
States district court to be held at Bis
marck. Bail was furnished by John
Russell, president of the Russell d
W. Barton. manager of the Northern
Pacific Elevator company. at this
place. Upon the hearing the fact ap-
peared that, while Mr.. SandersOn had
told certain farmers that he would not
furnish cars to Mr.. Wylie, nor any other
street buyer, they or any other farmer
could have all the cars they wanted.
One of the farmers testified that he
could haul but one load of wheat day.
and that it would take in the neighbor-
hood of ten days for him to fill car.
while it appeared that Mr.. Wylie had
and could fill at least two cars per day.
1t is plain that the reason the railroad
company refuse cars to street buyers.
and allow them to fa1merS, is that very
few farmers can avail themselves of the
offer. Street buyers force the price of
wheat up from = TO 2 cents per buShel,
which the elevators are obliged to give
to compete with the street buyers. and
thus give the farmers about what their
wheat is worth.
Mr.. Wylie is laying the foundation
for an action against the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company for damages.
under sections and of the interstate
commerce law. He has made written
demand on the company for sufficient
carsfO ship 1000 bushels of wheat daily,
Sundays and holidays excepted. from
this place TO Duluth. until Jan. /. 1888.
To avoid the point that the company
may expect to make when the case
comes to trial, that he did not own any
wheat, and cannot prove that he could
have gotten any wheat, he is making
contracts with farmers. 1t may be for
the public benefit that street or indie
pendent buyers at other stations along
the line adopt the same policy.

datiens. In reply to the query: WHO
are the most prominent Republican can

be regarded as intentional. Mr.. Blaine
